Clarification/Information

In the post of 03 Feb. 2011, I listed some of the new developments at the children home. Among the items was that of the digging of a water well and the picture of the well. Due to the different nationalities and hence language differencies of our readers, supporters and donors, I would like to clarify that a well is a shallow water hole, usually dug (excavated using manual labour, and is in most cases of a depth of upto 30 feet) and it's water is drawn out using manual methods. A water well is not a bore hole. A borehole is drilled using drilling rigs ( machinery and equipment, and can be more than 500 feet deep). Due to it's depth, it's water is pumped out using electric or mechanized pumps. At our farm, a donor had funded the small amount required to dig a water well, to be used temporarily for supplying water to the already functional green houses, while we waited for fundraising for the more expensive but effective borehole to be excavated.

I hope this clarification is understandable to all our friends. More inquiries are welcome via our email, (st.pauls.children@gmail.com)
